1. Position of WoSoF : Fashion’s studies often include a discussion of garment art and design, textile technology and craftsmanship, gender theory, matriarchy, patriarchy, and more generally, what proponents describe as the social, historical, and cultural con- structions of clothes from the textile perspective. Although 65 % profits of the fashion luxury industries are made by the jewellery and accessories production. These studies usually do not pay attention on the jewellery and accessories from a fashion and design perspective. Studies of jewellery and accessories on the other hand, generally focus on aspects of history, old-fashioned craftsmanship and technique, and the material science. However, very few studies explicitly take a contemporary theoretical and meth- odology ( more contextual / philosophical ) perspective from the art, design and fashion, researching how meaning is produced and what is the position of repre- senting fashion from those objects (jewellery, handbag, shoes, hat, glasses and so on) on body rather than garment and textile. WoSoF ( World Symposium of Fashon, Jewellery and Accessories ) therefore pro- poses to step into the great potential to set a program with international net- works, and connect both jewellery and accessories design, fashion’s studies and practice, to fill this gap. It takes fashion’s studies as a context to look at the jew- ellery and accessories art design practice, history, curation and management, and see how this perspective influences, gives new meaning and possibilities to fashion and design development.
